Was it necessary? We believe so. Sleeping in the Brazilian jungle, or reading a book, browsing the net, cuddling with a beloved in the living room, lazing in the garden are activities calling for different qualities in a hammock. Few of us are sleeping whole nights in the jungle, so the traditional design is somewhat outdated.

So we had a closer look into hammock designs and construction in regard with their function. Instead of forcing the body into the shape of the furniture, it is the furniture that should be shaped to the body! That’s the idea of ergonomics that we applied in creating both of our products: The Flying Carpet (2001) and The Flying Chair (1999). Both are offering lower back support for greater comfort and are adjustable. By the way, we also optimized the traditional hammock design: visit The Classic Hammock Page to know how!

Fabric, rope, stainless steel parts and synthetic latex cushioning are produced especially for us, according to our specifications. What about our manufacturing practices? Our main concerns are definitively comfort and quality, but we do care about environment protection and sustainable practices. For performance’s sake, some of the raw materials we use are synthetic but we choose them with care, minimize their use and developed a working routine with close to zero waste. We are committed to maintain a fair balance between environmental considerations, fair labor practices, durability, transportability and cost factors.

The Flying Carpet

Shaped To Fit Your Body! Created in 2001, The Flying Carpet is ideal for reading, relaxing or browsing the Net. It raises the torso up, gently nests the head, provides support to the lower back, keeps the legs in a relaxed position, giving support where needed. With it’s unique design and high weight capacity (up to 180 kilos), the Flying Carpet is truly comfortable for two. It is the perfect “Chill-Out Together” Hammock! It takes less space to hang than a traditional hammock and is very safe and easy to get in and out: just sit down lean back and stretch out! As a bonus, the sitting position is adjustable.

A 21st century lifestyle product, The Flying Carpet raises the notion of hammock comfort to a level never experienced before!

At first look, the difference is obvious: one sits in The Flying Carpet sideways instead of lengthwise. But this shift of sitting position has a momentous impact since it makes it possible to shape the hammock to follow and support your body through a special stringing technique! Instead of forcing the body into the shape of the furniture, it is the furniture that should be shaped to the body! That’s the idea of ergonomics applied to the creation of The Flying Carpet in 2001.

It’s perfect shape is achieved through a very precise rope work done by hand following a carefully developed pattern based on the body proportions and natural form. The stringing formula has organically evolved from numerous experiments led over time. Each and hammock must go through this handiwork stringing process. As a result, The Flying Carpet raises the torso up, gently nests the head, provides support to the lower back, keeps the legs in a relaxed position, giving support where needed.

The Flying Carpet Original - It’s the first that was made, the original model, a roomy one that big enough for two and so comfortable to cuddle with a beloved!

The Flying Carpet Original Mini - It shares all the qualities of the roomy Original model versions but is sized to perfectly fit the body of a person of a height of less than 1.6 meter. Ideal also for children of 8 years old and up.

The Flying Carpet Thermo - It shares all the qualities of the roomy Original model and it can be insulated from the cold!

Why a Thermo? Because outdoors lovers like to use it all year round and everywhere: high up on a mountain, in a wooden unheated hut, on a cold summer night, in autumn and why not, on a sunny winter day! The Thermo is equipped with a long pocket sized to host an insulating mat (the simple one used for camping) or even with an electrically heated mat (if you happen to have access to an electric connection). Simply insert the mat into the pocket and close the Velcro. Sit down, cover yourself with a blanket and enjoy!

The Flying Carpet Solo: Our most recent model (2014), it shares all the qualities of the roomy Original model, but it is proportionate to host a single person.

Why a Solo? Our customers expressed the wish to be able to hang their Flying Carpet in narrow spaces, and especially indoors. In fact, it is a great idea! There are no reasons why to limit the use of such a comfortable ergonomic piece of hanging furniture to the garden. The new Solo takes a lot less space to hang. It can be installed in the corner of a for example, and unhooked when not in use to leave the space free. It is also lighter, so it is ideal for travelers.

The Flying Carpet Solo Mini - share all the qualities of the roomy Original model but it is sized to perfectly fit the body of a person of a height of less than 1.6 meter. Ideal also for children of 8 years old and up.
